Cathode Ray Experiment Essay

There are quite a few special circumstances that phlebotomists need to take into consideration when collecting a specimen because not every specimen is treated the same. Such as the bilirubin test for example; “When obtaining the specimen for this testing, it is important for the phlebotomist to recognize the effect of light on the specimen” (LabCE, 2017, para 1). Light can greatly impact the results of the test and could cause a lower bilirubin level than what is actually present in the…

of error necessary. Not all the pillbugs had the same size, health, age, and gender. For instance, certain pillbugs were of a more dynamic nature, while others merely burrowed themselves into the soil for the entirety of the experiment. Only a perfectly controlled experiment would ensure that these factors were identical in all the specimens. As it is, these factors may skew the data slightly. In addition, the pillbugs were influenced by each other and were prone to crawling on top of each other…

Introduction: We are running an experiment using pigeons that will teach us about resurgence after extinction. Previous studies, such as Leitenberg et. al (Leitenberg et. al, 1970), have shown that it is possible for a behaviour that has been previously extinguished to have a sudden resurgence and become prevalent again. Podlesnik et. al, (Podlesnik et. al, 2006) attempted to re-create this experiment, and found the same results, the rats relapsed and returned to their previously extinct…

There are a few different opinions on whether animals should be used in experiments for human benefit or not. A lot of factors can contribute to both sides of the argument for animal testing. Animals are experimented on mainly to develop new medicines for humans and to test products to determine if they are safe enough for humans to use. Studies have been conducted to find cures for cancer, and animals have been used to further the research. Many experimenters know that animals can be harmed in…

What I have found about this experiment is some really interesting ideas and other ways to the experiment. Some other people use Sodium or other words, for Sodium on the periodic table this chemical is called “Na” other people use that to make the Elephant Toothpaste. The call it Elephant Toothpaste because it’s supposed to look like toothpaste and since it's so big and it looks like toothpaste so the first thing people thought of was Elephant Toothpaste. Is that it was so deadly and that it…

. The purpose of this experiment was to examine the role of attention in the performance of a new motor skill (cup stacking), to determine whether the level of attentional focus on the task impacted performance of the skill. The cup stacking experiment was performed under three different conditions; focused attention, response dual task, and cognitive dual task. Condition one was performed by solely focusing on completion of the task, while condition two, required the participant to respond to…

for an experiment that they are about to carry out. You are in the psychology field and you are interested. You reply back to your friend to tell them that you are up for anything. You then go over to their office, along with some other people in the field, to talk about this “experiment”. You get the complete load down on what is going to happen, what you will do in certain situations like to pretend to swallow pills, and just about everything in between. Here’s the catch, this experiment will…

This experiment demonstrated three different conditions in which participants assembled Stack Cups 3x3x3 in a specific left to right formation. Each condition had a different cognitive task, Condition 1: focused attention, Condition 2: response dual task, and Condition 3: cognitive dual task. Condition one, involved strictly focusing on completion of the trials, had the fastest mean of 5.36 seconds. Condition two, responding to broad questions during the trial, had the slowest mean of 5.48…

Awakenings A The film Awakenings presents the viewer with numerous moral challenges related to experimentation. However, there are contless reasons why experimenting on the patients was morally justified. Firstly, the patients were suffering from an almost unimaginably cruel disease. The encephalitis they contracted around 40 years ago had paralyzed their physical bodies. Early in the film, it was hypothesized that the patients were cognitively disabled. The truth in fact was their mental…

of this experiment was to perform a crash test and analyze the damage done to a dummy, when wearing and not wearing a seatbelt. Introduction Controls and Variables While performing this experiment there was one clear independent variable, which was the seat belt, as it was the only thing that changed during the experiment. As to have a fair test, that dummy had to be tested with both the seat belt on and off. The dependent and independent variables are the same thing in the experiment as,…
